Community GroupsAs we progress with our first ever Local Place Plan and find out what are the priorities in the community for submission to Fife Region we are holding one to one conversations with people who run groups or organisations in the area. This will give us great insight into what is needed and where for future developments. If you help with any community groups and would like a chat about what you need and can offer to the community – just reply to this email. ……………………………………………… On that note we are going to have a Community Groups Open Day in the Durham Hall on the 4th of December from 12pm until 3pm at the Durham Hall, Lower Largo and hope as many people as possible from the abundance of groups and organisations that run throughout the area can make it along to showcase what they do. There will be mince pies, tea and coffee and we hope you can drop in or get in touch if you want to get involved. |

We continue to work with the primary schools in the area on gaining an understanding what the children value. Most recently we did three beach cleans for the Great National Beach Clean. Please see the graphs attached for a depiction of what we found. We look forward to welcoming our local Oyster Officer to Largo Bay after the holidays as she comes along to the next outdoor day with the children. More on that soon. ………………………………………………. We continue our Friends of Largo Bay group and will be hosting Shaun Suttie of The East Neuk Hatchery at Largo Library on the 26th of October at 7pm. Do come along to find out more about this conservation project which he plans will result in a local centre focusing on regenerating lobster populations. A big thank you too to everyone who filled out the survey for Friends of Largo Bay – it really helps us shape the vision going forward and we look forward to sharing more with you all soon… All results from the Survey are here and get in touch if you want a chance to submit your views. |

This is a public meeting and members of the public are welcome so do just come along ! |
On Wednesday 17th August, Largo residents may have seen a Penmans digger at work at low tide in Largo Harbour. The mouth of the harbour had become partially blocked by boulders and debris washed from the end of the pier. Largo Pier Committee, who are working towards major reconstruction of the Pier, responded to harbour users‘ access problems by having the material moved. This work has to be done between tides.
Jimmy Simpson, Chair of the Pier Committee, which operates as part of Largo Communities Together, a registered charity, said, “We’re now trying to raise around £1.6M for full restoration of the Pier. We’ve completed the necessary civil engineering design work and can now pursue major grants. This process takes time, from expression of interest through to full applications and then assessment by the grant bodies and is likely to take 9 months to a year.
When we gain grant support we will take the Pier into community ownership, but in the interim we believe it’s wise to take temporary measures to limit further damage to the pier and maintain its value for harbour users. Today’s work is part of that process. People have been very generous in their support of our work and this along with grants we have raised so far has allowed us to fund the design work we have done in addition to the temporary repair work.”
